A Tale of 2 Surgeries- Episode 6
As you hopefully heard in our last episodes, both Co-Host Robin and last week's guest Stacey Collins were having J-Pouch surgery. Their surgeries were quite close together and so they became surgery/recovery buddies. Unfortunately they had vastly different post-surgical outcomes. In this episode we talk about their different experiences, we talk about pre- and post-surgery nutrition, working with a dietitian to prepare for surgery, and provide you with lots of tips if you're also facing J-Pouch or ostomy surgery.
